While I'm not quite sure what you mean by "invisable edges", but I'm
guessing you want a GIF with transparency. If so, ImageMagick can do
it, although the syntax can be tricky.

ImageMagick supports LOTS of APIs including Java, C, Perl, and
probably several others. (Of course, there is also command-line.) It
includes display tools for both Unix and Windows, but most only simple
operations are available from the display tools.
